Deferred Payments Between Related Parties: Tax Risks and Arm’s Length Transaction Requirements

  • VAT authorities scrutinize not just the price but all transaction terms, including payment deferrals, in related-party transactions.
  • Long-term deferred payments without interest may trigger challenges regarding whether the transaction is at arm’s length for VAT purposes.
  • Tax authorities cannot adjust VAT or taxable income solely based on non-arm’s length terms; a thorough analysis and correct legal basis are required.
  • All transaction terms, including payment schedules and methods, must be set at arm’s length to avoid VAT disputes.
